2026 Volkswagen Tiguan 195TSI R-Line: Detailed review – 0–100 & POV test drive. The latest VW Tiguan is underpinned by VW Group's MQB Evo platform, which brings in a range of new technologies (safety, hybrid and in-car) while also providing a slightly longer overall footprint (about 30mm). This also means boot space has increased to an impressive 652L, making it one of the biggest boots of this class. The 195 TSI R-Line sits in as a refined, sporty-inspired flavour variant until the high-performance new Tiguan R arrives, likely some time in 2027.
